Remedial Relief

Bojana Luzija – Remedial Massage Therapist

Back home, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I was trained as a Physiotherapist and I got my diploma in 1997. I worked in a rehabilitation centre and hospital as a physiotherapist prior to immigrating to Australia in 2001. In 2004 I graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Biology and Sports Science at the University of Canberra, gaining a broad knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, sports psychology and nutritional science. In 2007 I finished an Advanced Diploma of Soft-Tissue Therapies and became skilful in performing remedial massage, deep tissue massage, sports massage, pregnancy massage and lymphatic drainage massage. I have also completed Level 1 Sports Trainer and Advanced Taping Course.

I have been practising as a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist for the past 6 years. I have provided treatment to people of all ages and walks of life while working for a variety of massage clinics and for myself. I worked as a sport massage therapist in AFL and NRL teams assisting those high performance athletes in attaining peak fitness and preparing for and recovering from major events. I have also assisted basketballers, gymnasts and rowers in the Australian Institute of Sport and provided sports massage treatments to Canberra Off-road Cyclists (CORC) at Mountain Bike Skills Weekends.

My goal as a massage practitioner is to restore, maintain and enhance the health and wellbeing of my clients. I achieve this by consulting with them with the aim of providing specific session plans and direct treatment and ensuring they are active participants in their own good health.

Services

Remedial Massage

​Remedial Massage uses effective and varied musculoskeletal techniques to provide relief to tight or injured muscles, tendons and ligaments. Remedial Massage will help relieve pain and restore function to tight muscles and joints. Techniques used can include: myofascial release, compression, kneading, cross fibre frictions, trigger point therapy, static tissue tension, PNF and passive stretching. In addition to these techniques, clients are provided active stretches and exercises to perform outside of treatment to continue the healing process.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage works by physically breaking down adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments to relieve pain and restore normal movement. The massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles. This direct deep pressure can temporarily produce discomfort or pain. Patients typically describe this as “Good pain” and the results often produce long lasting relief of pain and tension, improved blood circulation and increased range of movement.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage is designed to help athletes by preparing their bodies for optimal performance, assisting with recovery after big events, and function well during training. It can help prevent niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether a person is an athlete or a once a week jogger. Sports Massage helps alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity by draining away fatigue, reducing swelling, decreasing muscle tension and promoting flexibility, and therefore preventing injuries.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy is a beautiful and an exciting time in a woman’s life accompanied by constant changes in her body. Some women adapt to those changes with ease while others can experience physical and mental challenges. Pregnancy Massage is designed to relieve tension in muscles and joints, decrease swelling in the arms and legs, reduce muscle cramps, stimulate circulation and improve sleep patterns. Pregnancy Massage also provides emotional support and reduces stress, anxiety and depression and leaves women feeling pampered and relaxed.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation Massage, also called Swedish Massage, is designed to soothe the nervous system, stimulate circulation and release toxins from the muscles. Relaxation Massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes: kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration/ shaking motions that are applied in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. It helps reduce emotional and physical stress and is relaxing and invigorating.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

The Lymphatic system is our front line of defence in fighting bodily infections, detoxifying the body and transporting metabolic wastes, excess water, bacteria and toxins out of the body. The Lymphatic Drainage Massage uses light, gentle pressure and rhythmic circular movements to help lymph movement along the drainage corridors and stimulates the lymph nodes cleaning out the system. The Lymphatic Drainage Massage can be very beneficial for people who are prone to and recovering from sore throats, colds, infections, on-going tiredness, excess fluids, low immunity, swollen node and those that have had lymph nodes removed through cancer treatment.

Testimonials

“I have been visiting Bojana for approximately the past five years.  With a physically demanding job working with racehorses I have suffered from general back pain along with a few more serious injuries over the years.
Bojana is very thorough and her knowledge of the muscles and joints of the body has been evident at all times.
I would be delighted to recommend her to anyone.  She has always done a fantastic job on my back!!”

“I absolutely love getting massages from Bojana. I have seen her a few times now and every time I come out feeling
fantastic. After making my visits a regular thing I’ve felt so much better. I have also recommended her to my partner who thinks she’s great as well. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend her to anyone wanting a great massage.”

“Bojana is a very experienced and professional therapist. Bojana is friendly, calm and thorough and uses these skills to find the cause of your discomfort. The treatment is exceptional for pain management, sporting injuries and relaxation. Highly recommend Remedial Relief.”

“I had searched for a good massage therapist for years before I found Bojana. When I found Bojana I knew she was “the one”. She is an extremely skilled practitioner, more than any other I have visited. She always makes me feel comfortable, and always manages to find the places that need the most work – every single time – without

me even having to say anything.

Her follow-up advice about stretches and exercises is very helpful as well. The Loft, where she practices is comfortable and homey – and in a very convenient location. (A warmed towel in the winter is the best idea
ever!) I always feel 200% better after I visit Bojana. She is pretty much a miracle worker, and as long as she practices in Melbourne I will never go to anyone else.”

“Bojana has been keeping me ‘competitive’ in my cycle racing. She has an uncanny knack of finding the bits that ‘hurt’, or need most attention. I think it is down to her training, and application in her work. Highly recommended!”
